Thanks I try to educate my self on car repairs that way I'm not taken for a fool I'm 71 yes young and still learning

[@DirtRoadAutoRepair]

Great plan!

[@No_Joke_Tonelocc]

Quick and easy good job dude

Thanks!

Thanks for the video!

I love the dog chillin’ under the car

[@DirtRoadAutoRepair]

No problem! 👍🏼

[@beatapt5]

Video skipped pulling the exhaust, probably the most fun part. LOL!

[@DirtRoadAutoRepair]

I showed it as much as I showed anything else in the video, “take off these nuts/bolts here here and here. Remove the part.” I don’t show work being done unless it’s necessary to understanding the job. I make videos as short as possible.

Hey man whats that rubber piece for that you pulled away from Trans ty

Great video, thanks. I have a 2009 Escape with the same engine... oil leaks galore. Not sure if it's the oil pan and/or somewhere higher up. I'll check when winter subsides. You would think by now Ford including the Mercury and the Mazda in this case would have done a better job against oil leaks... why do most Fords have an oil leak problem? It just baffles me. I have a 1992 Volvo, not a single leak. I also have a 2007 Sonata with 275,000km not a single leak. My Ford... 122,000km and oil everywhere from the engine. Oh and the transmission had a leak too and fixed that. All my neighbors with older Fords all park over cardboard or a plywood as is the case with me.

[@SoloPlaticando-ts4xx]

Mine also leaked from the oil switch, right by the filter and from the crankshaft sensor on the others side, both easy to reach and replace.

[@johnveroutsos]

Interesting, thanks for the information. I'll check that for sure. Much appreciated!

Anyone happen to know where the fuel filter is on a 2010 mercury mariner premier v6? Any information would be very much appreciated!

[@hekstoo5988]

If it's the same as a 2008 escape. It's under the back passenger side door on the driver side (under the car obviously 😅)

[@sayhitome8093]

1:30, what is that thing? Does it need to be replaced??

[@homeguardster]

its the flywheel inspection port, if it gets damaged coming off replace it.

[@hispanicuscorpus]

You jump how to remove the nut from the exhaust and the pan

[@freespirittransport5139]

Better have heat to remove all those exhaust bolts!!! Good chance they will snap anyway!

[@DirtRoadAutoRepair]

For sure. Especially as these vehicles get older and rustier.

[@tomarmfield8093]

@@DirtRoadAutoRepair Those rear bolts with the springs, do they require compression to reinstall? You didn't have any issues with the bolts snapping, did you? And how did you install/apply the RTV, if you did?

[@boomerguy9935]

The 2008 3.0 V6 engine is Gen 1 (even though the body is Gen 2) and the 2009-2012 3.0 V6 engine is Gen 2. There are several differences between the two generations of engines and I'm not sure if the oil pan is the same.

[@DirtRoadAutoRepair]

Good to know. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@reynolds8532]

Clearly a southern vehicle... So jealous!

[@DirtRoadAutoRepair]

Actually not. It’s been here in Michigan its whole life. Grandma owned and washed regularly.
